Raised in Sacramento, California, I studied Classics as an undergraduate at California State University, Sacramento, doing 1-year abroad in Swansea, U.K. I then moved to Exeter, U.K. for my M.A. in Classics and Ancient History and Ph.D. in Classics. My research analysed Romano-British temples in south-eastern England through an archaeological lens. During my time at university, I participated in a number of Roman and Medieval excavations and volunteered at Swansea University's Egypt Centre and the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter.
I then moved to Hokkaido, Japan, after which I worked in public relations and then as a Research Fellow with Hokkaido University, one of Japan’s top universities. I specialised in research communications and educational practices, alongside publications, translations, and other jobs. I recently started working with Golden Recursion, Inc. as a member of the research and data operations teams.
I am passionate about research, data, and programming. I know Python, SQL, CSS, and HTML, and am learning JavaScript. Projects I have worked on can be found in My Work and GitHub.
